Hi
I was perusing the Chat aspect of this site & I noticed your correspondence with an Anthony re records at St. Patrick's church. Did you ever get the info you required? St. Patricks is part of the large Diocese of Down & Connor, and is situated in Donegall Street, Belfast.
The Shankill area you mentioned runs at right angles to The Falls Road. The Falls area is predominately Catholic & the Shankill area is predominately Protestant. They are both sited in West Belfast. They don't exactly see eye to eye with each other, although there are now some cross-community schemes in operation. Tensions between them is far less now than it was some years ago.
If you haven't found that Certificate I will see what help I can give you, but I suspect Anthony has already sorted out your problem.
If there are any other threads concerning people born or living in Belfast, send me an email via this site.

Kind regards
Ed

Hi Ed , Thanks for the reply. Latest info below. We were unable to locate any church records but Anthony did find a Daniel McKenzie in Belfast 1842 directory living on Donegal Quay (a publican) but this lead to no further info. Likely Falls (Catholic) area, see CHURCH below. Does Shankill civil parish (CP) include all of Belfast or just part. Also is the Shankill area of Belfast smaller but within both the CP & Belfast city ?
                                    TIA for any help ,  Walt

PRESENT PRIMARY NEEDS ARE ANY ONE CHURCH RECORDS OF DANIEL'S BIRTH, MARRIAGE OR DEATH or 2 CHILDREN BIRTHS.

….. Data is from US census, church and vital records.  All US records just indicate
Ireland (Ire) as place of origin.  No Ire civil records can be located.  Ire church records very difficult to search with no results to present. ~~~~~~~
ANCESTOR(S): Daniel McKenzie my gg grandfather-c. 1810 -75. ~~~~~~~~~
BIRTH : Ire-b.c. 1810-25 and d.c. 1855 -75. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MARRIAGE : Margaret Miller (Millar, Meuller) Ire-c. 1840 or 46. ~~~~~~~~
CHILDREN : Elizabeth b.c. June 1841 or 47 Ire. John b.c. Aug. 1848(48-51) Ire. Other children unknown. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MIGRATION : Pre-1800 early generic McKenzie research suggest origination in NW Scotland and Inverness area with probably migrated to Ire late 17th century (1680's) across the channel to No. Ire in western Ulster-Derry,  Antrim etc. John (1872) and Eliz. (1895) to America (Boston). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CHURCH : Ire / Scotland (Scot) history of McKenzie / Miller strongly suggest Protestant-Presbyterian, Methodist, COI etc.  However, US m. and d. records strongly suggest Catholic as the US family is today. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OTHER : Daniel's parents and siblings unknown.  Other family forenames
1850-90 are James, Francis (Frank), Joseph, George. Daniel also had a brother (or 1st cousin) named John.
